What now?

[AltarGirl]

My truck was hit by a trash truck back in October. The guy came around a corner w/the forks down & I was sitting in my truck when he hit it. It was only the bumper luckily, but the supervisor who came on scene later said donÂ’t worry, weÂ’ll pay for it all.
So I was told I’d have a check shortly & now it’s December. I have called every day since last week & their excuse is “the owner has a stack of checks to endorse & he hasn’t done it” What the hell does that mean??? I’ve now talked to several different “supervisors” & told them I wanted to speak w/this owner & they told me no. “there’s no way to reach him” Which I'm sure means, "no you can't call & try to complain about our irresponsible & crappy response to this situation" :rolleyes:
WTF!!! IÂ’m thinking the only way to resolve this may be a real legal threat. I donÂ’t know what to do! Help! :confused:
PS. The company is Crown Disposal & the ownerÂ’s name is Tom Fry. :)

Turn it in to your insurance, they will fix your car and get the money from the trash company. That's what you're paying all that money for. This is their headache, not yours :D

[NOTALENT]

Threaten them. Tell him you tried to go about it the decent way, but they have not held up to there end. Now you have to get your "LAWYER" into it...that should scare them. Especially since there in the wrong.

Especially since there in the wrong.I did! I left a message & said “If I don’t have a resolution I will be contacting my attorney.” Know any lawyers who owe you a favor? :)

[H20 Toie]

For just damage to your bumper you are better off turning it in to your insurance and let them deal with it, you would spend more money with an attorney then you'll get for the damage.

[Kachina26]

Do you not have insurance? You are really going about this the hard way. I had a guy hit me, said he would pay, and naturally, didn't. I called my insurance co, got it fixed and they got the money from the bozo. No headaches for me.

[River918]

You were in the truck?........I think you neck and back is starting to hurt...J/K. I'd just turn it over to your insurance company and let them deal with it..

[AltarGirl]

Ok, I guess the moral of this story is call my insurance company. I didnÂ’t want to, just deal w/it myself you know? But, theyÂ’re A-holes.

[NOTALENT]

I may...My cousin is a paralegal for Fox Sports. Im sure she can dig someone up...If you dont end up going through your insurance I can see if they could make a scare tactic call... :crossx:

I thought it was because of my beer bongin skills...??? :D

Well sure, that just goes w/out saying.

[Tittie Chaser]

I know Tom personally, I will speak with him.

[AltarGirl]

I know Tom personally, I will speak with him.
Could you? That would really be great! :)
Tell him to F**k off! :crossx: :p

[Dave C]

write them a quick letter......
state facts and then state that "you expect prompt payment within x days otherwise you will seek all legal remedies available."

[Tittie Chaser]

Could you? That would really be great! :)
Tell him to F**k off! :crossx: :p
I have lunch with him from time to time. He's actually a great guy, and very intelligent. I'm leaning towards him not being notified by his office about this matter. I would certainly beleive that, more than I would believe he is unwilling resolve this to your satisfaction. My immediate suggestion would be to contact the office and speak to whoever is in charge in Tom's absence, and explain your situation to him.

I dont think that will get you anywhere.... :crossx:

I love it. :D :D

[H20 Toie]

Either that or we can go over and have a talk with him about the problem he needs to take care of. :)

It doesn't have to be an "actual" lawyer that makes the call ;) Perhaps a friend who knows a few big words (might be hard to find around here on HB) and is a good bullsh!tter (that I'm sure you can find plenty of around here!!! ;) )
Believe me...a convincing phone call to the right person will definitely do the trick!!!!

[topless]

File a complaint with the BBB. You can do it online. Explain what happened and what you want as a resolution. This company always answers their complaints so this might work quickly. www.labbb.org

[Tittie Chaser]

I wouldn't bother trying to play 'hardball' over a dented bumper, with a millionaire 10-times over. This is one of the few times that the 'more flies with honey' adage may actually apply.

[topless]

Hang on, I'm on hold waiting to talk to him.

[Chase]

Make sure he isn't showing any gravy....

[topless]

No luck, had to leave a message for the controller but I think he's in the office right now.

Then money is not an issue and she should have had her truck fixed (even though it is a Ford and would probably be cheaper to just total it and get something else :crossx: ) months ago!!!
Just stirring the pot here :argue: , but this really is one of those things that obviously means nothing to the "millionaire" until you make him realize that it is important to the wronged party (i.e. Ms. AltarGirl)
I can certainly understand your point though :)

Hey...!!! WTF!!?? When are we going to party!!!! :mad: and are you offering to be the person to call... :idea: :D My big words to use would probably be...F**ker, B**tch, Low life piece of S**T!!! :crossx:

[Tittie Chaser]

We share the same opinion my friend. If another well placed call or two doesn't do the trick, by all means do what ya gotta do.
Who am I kidding with this 'I care' b.s., somebody post up some titties.

Actually :idea: :idea: maybe that's a better way to go about it....short skirt low cut top and I'm sure she would have check in hand :crossx:

You think the owner of a trash company is going to jump when he hears someone is going to sue him? lol .... Waste management is a "colorful " business...lol
Alter girl,
If you really want to get their attention, tell them you're going to the city manager to urge him/her to change the vendor of their trash pickup contract... That there is about the best threat you're going to give...

[NOTALENT]

I told you to let me know the next time you were heading to Mavericks!!! :crossx: Thursdays dont to me to well..I work at 5:30 am... :cry: whats your plans for New Years??

[AltarGirl]

Thanks so much for all the advice, I think I'm going to make a trip to the office today :crossx:
We'll see what happens! :idea:

[Tittie Chaser]

Get his attention, show some skirt curtains.

[Chase]

Good luck girl...let me know if you want me to meet you there :cool:

[Lavey29]

I would not report anything to your insurance unless it is a last resort because your insurance company will ding you even though it is not your fault. They will eventually raise your rate and tell you that its just a general increase for everyone. Is this trash company contracted to do your service in the city? You can call and file a complaint with city hall about the response that you have been given from the company. Call the mayors office and complain about them. Send certified letter to the trash company and state that if you do not receive payment immediately then you will retain counsel and intiate legal action against them. Don't let those sucka's screw you around...

[badtaste]

how about tricking the guy into talking to you... tell them you are someone else that wants to talk to him about something totally generic... then when he comes on the line... wham! :crossx:

[AltarGirl]

ThatÂ’s exactly why I didnÂ’t want to go through insurance! IÂ’ve have a perfect record since I was 16, & want to keep it that way. I think I am going to call & pretend to be someone else, just to see if I can get through. :idea:

[moneypit]

This is exactly why you have insurance.. They also have attorneys that will take care of the situation. If you had bodily harm, then you would be better with an attorney. A Personal injury atty would take this case on lein. Usually you will get a settlement higher then you would by yourself. Since yoiu dont have any injuries then its not your avenue.
Call your insurance. It will be the only phone call that will work. Your already getting the run around.

[Chase]

Oh my God Altargirl...you may have some bodily harm...I was looking close at a picture of you and I saw a small scratch...or something...below your blue shorts.... :D :D

[Tom Brown]

I am thinking she is pretty clean...and wouldn't have to worry..about septicism

Big deal, my retreiver can maintain a clean record for a year and a half.

Not even close to being true.......... :rolleyes:
Call your agent and ask for advise about the situation.If you go through your Ins. company you will be responsible for paying your collision deductible up front and then they will reimburse you as soon as they recoup the losses from the other party.
This is standard practice.

This is standard practice.I don't know how true that is either because once a lady backed up into my car and her insurance wasn't going to pay for what it cost to get it fixed. I went thru my insurance and it cost me nothing. They fought it out.

Your only dinged if it's your fault.
There is discounts that you can loose if you turn in more than one comp claim per car in a 3 year period.(There are people that magicly have a theft claim every 6-12 months)

[meaniam]

For just damage to your bumper you are better off turning it in to your insurance and let them deal with it, you would spend more money with an attorney then you'll get for the damage.
why turn it into insurance if it just a bumper replace it be out about 250 and be done with it. apparently you have nothing in writting accepting responsibilty and that they will fix the damage. months go by you didnt file a dmv report or damage report with the chp you pretty much have nothing aginst them do you know the drivers name and drivers lic truck number and plate number go to the chp and file a report. im sure if you start hounding the driver and make threats im sure he will do all the leg work for you and find a supervisor. ask for the insurance companies agents number. they have to give it. or file another report they dont like to go thru thier agents. but their agent will gladly resolve this matter for you fast. :cry:

Keep on their ass & tell them that if you take it to the shop of your choice...AKA Simons In Lagauna Hills, they will not only be responsible for the heck of a deal they are getting....but, towing to Laguna & rental cars fees! (Which by the way is a Ca law)
Call me if they doesnt work! I will fax them or call them for you!
